During the "before" people owned slaves who were considered to be 3/5 of a person. Now how that came about I have no idea. Why not 4/5 or 1/2 or 1/3? At any rate going back to "before" occupies their entire being. They RESENT the way uppity folks have sought rights and won them. They RESENT not being able to control the way people choose to live, whom they choose to love, what they choose to enjoy. Not at all. They want to be the sole arbiters of all of that! less

I didn't remember the title of the movie but a long-time Answerbag/Answermug friend came to my rescue. That is my favorite movie creative wackery of all time. Then for TV the staircase scene when Carol Burnett comes regally down a staircase wearing drapes as a ball gown held up by enormous curtain rods on her shoulders. Oh my. What about you? What are your favorites? less

What they are now is due to their devotion to a cannibal who is very good at making less than out of everyone associated with him. They are less than they were before little don took over their bodies and souls and spirits and minds and hesrts and brains and future. A present-day national emergency. Who will save them from themselves? No one is interested. That's too bad.

In fact he is LOSING. But he keeps fighting anyway. He loses a limb. Then another limb. Then another limb. Then the last limb. All that is left is torso with head. It bounches around on the ground still fighting with no arms or legs. Now that is devotion and belief and determination. That's trumpicans for ya. No matter what is uncovered or revealed they are in thre fighting fighting fighting. It's kinda amazing to watch. One marvels at the focus and determination and belief against all odds. SIGH. less

The words were said robotically mechanically without emotion or intellectual honesty or any intention of upholding and fulfilling them. Words without meaning are just noise. That's what was "elected" prez. A meaningless noisemaker. Sad that.

Everyone knows that too. Everyone (except them apparently) also knows Cohen has DOCUMENTS and other PROOF to substantiate/back up his testimony. None of those attack dogs defended the don. Not one. Did any of them even mention his name? Why? Perhaps because they had nothing to defend and were afraid of what Cohen had to say and so all they knew how to do was to repeatedly attack him. That is why Bill Kristol says it IS THE STUPID PARTY. I didn't say that. He did. A CONSERVATIVE and I guess former Republican said it. I did not know that STUPID was something the Republican Party has been fighting for decades. Did you? He also said the party now consists of GRIFTERS AND DEMAGOGUES. He said that. Not me. He further said that political damage was brought on by the don and embraced by his supporters. Embracing dumb makes you dumb too ... less

In 2012 the don valued it at $ 291,000,000 on some loan document to Deutsche bank I believe. In 2013 he valued it at $25-$50,000,000. Don't know what kind of financial document it was..maybe to the IRS. So the don committed a felony at the bank and tried to cheat the IRS out of tax monies. He did tht apparently regularly. He'd inflate when he wanted Forbes magazine to list him as one of the wealthiest folks and deflate it when it suited him. I expect y'all do that don'tcha? Now inflating by a quarter BILLION bucks is very cheeky and brazen. But then why not go all the way when you defraud? The don goes all the way all the time. less

I plugged it in almost every outlet in my room the only one it works well in is in my glow in the dark putty charger. If I plug it in any other outlet and be on it the battery chargers backwards. We lived in this trailer for 17 years maybe it's the outlets they're kind of old. Is there something wrong with my phone ? Why does the battery settings look like this and how can I fix this ?

Some fast thinking young teenagers grabbed some fencing from the out of bonds area then they used it as a safety net and caught the kid when he dropped. The teens were only about 15 and they were the ones that sprung into action well some of the adults there were just standing around saying oh my oh my well catching the dangling kid on their phones. So my hat goes off and my thumbs go up for those teens. Cheers! less

Kim denies knowing anything about Otto Wambier. The don sez " I take his word for it". Former White House staff guy Rob Porter denied beating his two wives..The don believed him. Notice the pattern here folks? Doesn't it make you feel all squishy and safe from harm in don's arms? Good old daddy dearest. Always on the side of the downtrodden, the accused. SIGH.

A $35,000 check signed by Donald Trump on Aug. 1, 2017 (after he became president) will be displayed during Michael Cohen's testimony to the House Oversight Committee today, a source close to Cohen tells Axios.
"It was another installment in the illegal hush money 'reimbursed' to Cohen ... for hush money payoff," the source said.

Excerpts from Cohen's opening statement, provided to the N.Y. Times and others, and confirmed for Axios:
"I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump’s illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience. I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is."
"He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat. He was a presidential candidate who knew that Roger Stone was talking with Julian Assange about a WikiLeaks drop of Democratic National Committee emails."

Denies knowing about it. His son John testified that he did know. So The crooked corrupt political operative Harris hired was arrested with 4 others that were involved in the crime. The election will be run again. Mark Harris withdrew. Crook that he is deserves to be in jail too.His OWN SON ratted him out. Bet that made him feel very small and dirty and embarrassed.Proof that trumpicans HAVE TO CHEAT ANY WAY THEY CAN OR THEY can't win Why cheat otherwise, right? If you know you are a winner you don't cheat. You don't have to cheat. If you know you will lose you pull out all the stops so you can score a "win". Ain't it neat? How many more North Carolinas are there out there that will eventually all be outed? We'll see what happens. Everyone says so. less
